Individual psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in central Bristol

There are many reason why people come to therapy. Some of these reasons can be thought of in similar terms or categories, but the details are always particular and personal. These may be, for example, issues around relationships, or problems with anxiety, depression or trauma. Or perhaps a desire to explore expectations or patterns of behaviour.

Psychoanalysis offers an alternative approach in addressing these things in that it does not seek simple explanations or pathologies but attempts to facilitate understanding of how the defining aspects of our lives relate to each other, bringing to light that which is not yet discernible, as well as looking at how they exist within the wider social context.
